Forensic Scientist Says Bigfoot Is Real

A scientist has risked his reputation by declaring that fuzzy photographs and casts of footprints are in fact from a real creature known as Bigfoot. “I’m convinced there’s a creature out there that is yet to be identified,” said Jeff Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University in Pocatello. And yet, the fuzzy photograph shown in this news story looks to me like a man in a costume.

Well, good luck in convincing others, Dr. Meldrum. The total absence of a carcass or live animal speaks volumes, to me. The fact that photographs are fuzzy and footprints can be hoaxed adds to my suspicion. One of the come-backs made by Bigfoot proponents is that grizzly bear carcasses are also extremely rare to find in the wild. Now, this is one of the stupidest arguments I have ever heard. Grizzly bears are known to be real because: a) there are clear photographs; b) there are the extremely rare grizzly bear carcasses found; c) grizzly bears exist in zoos; and d) hunters have killed grizzly bears.
